Symptomatic relief

Ego strengthening

Ego transcendence

Why would you...

When you often feel unhappy, behave in a destructive way, experience fear and do not know what you really want, you are surviving and just functioning, without really flowering from your essence. 
During therapy or coaching you become more aware of what is really going on, you will experience safety and respect so you can process painful memories, gaining insight and skills. The trauma and the unhealthy patterns can resolve. To experience what you really want has a deep fulfilling and lasting impact on your life. 

In a session of hypnotherapy I guide you into a trance in which you are fully aware and in control. You will gain access to the use of different resources - those you already posess and new ones. With hypnotherapy it is possible to heal unfinished and painful experiences you have had with loved ones. Unhealthy patterns can change and you will open more deeply to who you really are and (re)discover your authenticity and strenght.

I apply coaching with the MatriX-method, for a short, solution based approach. By this you will neutralize the charge of the trauma without having to relive it. After this you will replace the former traumatic response by a healthy one. 

Symptomatic relief

  • For who are dealing with pain, chronical illness or cancer - during or after treatment, when you have misunderstood physical complaints, workstress, burn out;
  • When you suffer from  addictions, sleeping problems, eating disorders, when you gnash your teeth or pick on your nails;  
  • When you experience loss and grief;  
  • When you notice that you have little energy and maybe cannot get rid of negative thinking.

Ego-strenghtening 

A lack of self-worth, insecurity, fear to show yourself, an inability to be clear about your limitations and what you want and don't want. Such struggles often have their roots in the experiences you have had in the past.  
A healthy ego is necessary in order to be visible, decisive and courageous in life and to be able to express yourself freely. It then becomes possible to coexist with others in an open, mutually reinforcing and inspiring way, to experience intimacy and a wholeheartedly exchange of energy, lively balanced.

Ego transcendence

Your ego or True self?

Do the laws of your character and conditioning determine who you are? Is how you behave, what you feel and how you think driven by the interaction of fear and desire, or does it has integrity? Living from the ego is accompanied by the tension of holding on to a position.


Do you want to let go of these and live in openness and peace? If it is your deeper desire to experience true freedom, you are ready to ask the two most important questions one can ever have: “Who am I?" and "What do I really want?" Deep inquiry into these questions can instantly give clarity and release an elementary force.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ericksonian Hypnotherapy 

Why is Ericksonian Hypnotherapy so effective? 
Behavior and reactions are mainly driven by unconscious motives. These motives arose during past events that shaped and / or influenced our identity, beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Our character fixation is crystallized during painful and defining childhood events. Hypnotherapy enters the domain of the unconscious. In addition to motives, emotions and patterns, this domain also contains qualities and resources. In a hypnotherapy session you consciously connect with these resources, which you can then use to transform destructive habits into the art of whole and healthy living. You may discover unknown qualities and can then determine what you want to keep and what to let go. During a hypnosis session you will experience an energetic change in your body, thinking and feeling that will affect your future. 

How Ericksonian Hypnotherapy differs from other forms of counseling or therapy / treatment? 
Counseling & coaching and CTG (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) take place in the domain of the conscious and can provide valuable insights. However, because most of our experiencing, interpreting and reacting are unconsciously controlled, the unconscious is also the area in which profound change can take place. By means of hypnotherapy, the person seeking help is able to reach, experience, investigate and change what is held in this unconscious domain. 

Does Ericksonian Hypnotherapy require more or fewer sessions than other forms of therapy to achieve the client's goal? 
 It has been my experience that fundamental experience and change can occur in just one session of hypnotherapy. In one session something can change in the chemistry of the body, emotions and reaction patterns. But I have seen more often that at least a few sessions are needed for embodied integration.  Whether more or fewer sessions are required with hypnotherapy than with other forms of therapy, usually CBT, is partly determined by the client's situation and their experiences in the field of self-examination of emotions, feelings, thoughts, behavior and body experience. Just when the client seems to have reached a limit with CBT, hypnotherapy can take her / him further. Provided of course that is what the client wants. 

How many sessions is recommended to achieve a meaningful change? 
This question can only be answered if we take a closer look at the request for help. The motivation to change is of great importance. In addition, the integrity of the therapist and his or her skills in working with hypnotherapy is also of relevance.  Sometimes one session can be of immense benefit but generally speaking  a minimum of 3 sessions is recommended, also to give the proces a chance to succeed. The first session os normally used to make acquaintance with one another. The request for help, desire for change and any concerns of the person seeking help are discussed. The person seeking help can experience being in a trance and feel whether this is something he of she would like to explore further.   A second session serves to delve deeper into what is actually going and to discover what is needed to move towards further healing and integration of experience. These sessions provide reinforcement of what has been and is still being learned. The straling point for the work and guiding thread for continuing is closely linked to what it is the clients wants: attention is always given to this.
